How to write Jeremiah in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Jeremiah becomes ジェレマイア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ジェ | je | two characters read as one sound |
| レ | re | |
| マ | ma | |
| イ | i | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ジェレマイア・スミス for Jeremiah Smith.
